Mobile Phlebotomy Services for Home Care

Safe, professional, and compassionate mobile phlebotomy services that support your home care agency and improve patient outcomes.

 

Getting Lab Work Done Is Easy

At the National Phlebotomy Provider Network (NPPN), we make laboratory testing simple for home care agencies and their patients. As a premier specimen collection service provider, we are your one‑stop shop for mobile phlebotomy services and diagnostic support. Unlike other services that rely on contractors, NPPN directly employs phlebotomists and manages the entire process through our central operations team, ensuring consistency, safety, and quality in every interaction.

Your Partner in Home Care

NPPN serves as a trusted care partner to home care agencies nationwide. By partnering with us, your patients avoid spending hours in crowded clinics or hospitals only to receive rushed, impersonal service. Instead, our compassionate technicians bring professional home care phlebotomy services directly to patients in the comfort of their homes.

Working with NPPN also frees up your nursing staff to focus on more critical aspects of patient care. Because many blood draws cannot be billed to insurance by the agency, our service eliminates the burden of uncompensated time for your staff. The result is a smoother workflow, better patient outcomes, and more efficient use of your agency’s resources.

It’s a true win‑win: patients receive timely diagnostic care without unnecessary stress, and providers receive accurate lab results as if the patient had gone to a traditional facility.

Benefits for Home Care Agencies and Patients

Our mobile blood draw services for home care provide value to everyone involved in the care process:

  • For agencies: Save staff time and resources, reduce uncompensated tasks, and improve patient satisfaction.
  • For patients: Avoid travel, long wait times, and the risks of exposure in clinical settings.
  • For providers: Receive accurate, timely lab results to guide treatment decisions.
  • For insurers: Support better compliance and continuity of care while controlling unnecessary costs.

NPPN makes it possible for agencies to focus on what they do best, providing quality nursing care, while we handle the specimen collection and delivery.

Comprehensive Specimen Collection for Home Care Patients

We offer at‑home specimen collection for a full range of diagnostic needs. From routine bloodwork to more complex testing, our trained professionals collect specimens per the instructions of the laboratory or healthcare provider.

Because NPPN is an independent service provider, we are not tied to any single lab. That means we can collect specimens for any laboratory and transport them wherever they need to go, whether designated by you, the patient’s insurance, or the practitioner.

We collect a variety of specimens, including blood, stool, and other diagnostic samples, ensuring your patients receive comprehensive care without unnecessary disruption.

Insurance and Coverage Options for Home Care Patients

NPPN is a contracted, in‑network ancillary care provider for many managed care plans, meaning our services may be covered for some of your patients. In these cases, the patient’s insurance covers the laboratory testing fees as it normally would.

While we cannot bill Medicare or Medicaid directly, we provide insurance claim forms with appropriate billing codes so that patients or facilities may seek reimbursement. In many cases, agencies arrange for a flat per‑draw rate for our MobiLab Express™ service or an hourly rate for our Specimen Pros™ service.

For patients with limited mobility, homebound status, or other medical needs, insurance coverage or reimbursement may be available. Our operations team works with agencies and families to ensure that billing and coverage are as seamless as possible.

Blood Draw with Care

Every NPPN phlebotomist is a skilled professional committed to patient care. With our home care phlebotomy services, your agency gains access to the most experienced and highly trained mobile phlebotomists in the field, operating under the highest professional standards.

We are experts in caring for seniors, homebound patients, and those with special needs. From needle phobia and anxiety to difficult veins, our phlebotomists are trained to handle sensitive situations with patience and compassion.

To enhance continuity of care, patients are assigned a dedicated “case worker” phlebotomist. This ensures the same technician visits for each appointment, building familiarity and trust while improving patient comfort and outcomes.

Continuity of Care with Dedicated Case Worker Phlebotomists

We believe that trust is an essential part of healthcare. That’s why NPPN assigns patients to the same phlebotomist whenever possible. Patients become comfortable with their technician, and phlebotomists learn the unique needs of each patient. This consistency reduces anxiety, improves the quality of blood draws, and ensures reliable results for providers.

An Extension of Your Home Care Agency

Navigating today’s healthcare system can be overwhelming for patients and families. Multilevel management, complex care requirements, and fragmented communication too often leave patients feeling frustrated or forgotten.

NPPN serves as an extension of your home care agency, helping patients feel supported while ensuring providers receive the critical diagnostic information they need. By partnering with us, your team can focus on nursing care while we manage the collection, processing, and secure delivery of specimens.

Infection Control and Safety Standards

While the COVID‑19 Public Health Emergency has ended, NPPN continues to follow the strict safety protocols we adopted during the pandemic. Our technicians adhere to CDC and OSHA guidelines, including recognized biosafety practices, to minimize infection risks and protect both patients and staff.

These ongoing precautions provide peace of mind to agencies, patients, and families, ensuring that home care remains a safe and effective alternative to traditional laboratory visits.

These terms and conditions are provided by The National Phlebotomy Provider Network (“NPPN”) and fully describe the terms under which the services are provided by NPPN.

1. NPPN provides an independent medical and research specimen collection, processing, and delivery service. NPPN IS NOT a medical laboratory and does not conduct laboratory testing. NPPN IS NOT a partner or subsidiary of any medical laboratory.

2. Once specimens are delivered, NPPN has no control over the handling, processing, and testing of specimens, or reposting of those results to the prescribing practitioner. The laboratory is solely responsible for proper handling, processing, testing, and results reporting. NPPN is NOT responsible IF the laboratory fails to do any of the above properly or in a timely fashion.

3. While most common laboratory tests require the same or similar type of sample (whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, etc.) no matter what laboratory is performing the testing, every laboratory has its own specimen requirements for sample type, processing, and handling. While every effort is made to collect adequate and acceptable specimens, it is impossible to know the specific requirements for every test done by every laboratory. Furthermore, some laboratory tests cannot be collected in the field because the sample requires special handling that is impossible to perform outside a laboratory environment. In addition, some laboratory tests require the sample to undergo additional processing IN THE LABORATORY, as soon as it is delivered to the laboratory, which cannot be done in the field. Given these facts, there is a possibility that inadequate samples or no samples will be obtained. NPPN is NOT responsible [f the laboratory fails to perform any additional pre-analytical sample processing required after we deliver the samples to the laboratory.

4. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT NPPN ABOUT YOUR TEST RESULTS NPPN has no access to the test results. You should contact the practitioner who ordered the laboratory testing for you or the laboratory who is conducting the testing directly. However, you should be advised that most laboratories are prevented by law firms releasing results directly to patients.

5. NPPN specimen collection and delivery services are provided ONLY at the direction of and under specific order from a duly licensed medical practitioner authorized to prescribe and order medical diagnostic testing. You cannot request specimen collection services without a valid laboratory order from an authorized medical practitioner.

6. NPPN personnel cannot materially change or in any way alter the laboratory order provided by your prescribing practitioner. It is against the law for any medical care provider to change a practitioners order without express consent from the prescribing practitioner. Likewise, you cannot materially change or alter your prescribing practitioner’s laboratory order for you.

7. NPPN is NOT a medical practice and does NOT provide any medical diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, or any medical advice. We do NOT have any information relating to any treatment you are undergoing or any reasons for why samples are being collected. You should seek the advice of a licensed practitioner for any question about any symptom or condition you are experiencing. If you are experiencing a medical emergency you should call 911 immediately! Do not attempt to access emergency care through our service. If you are unsure of what type of care you need, please contact your personal physician. NPPN does not dispense or deliver medicine of any kind. NPPN cannot prescribe medication or evaluate the effectiveness of any medication you may be taking.

NPPN does NOT and will NOT provide services inside any vehicle. NPPN does NOT and will NOT provide services in any public location.

10. NPPN performs all services and functions in the ordinary course of business and during normal business hours. NPPN is a NON-EMERGENT service and should NOT be used for collection and delivery of STAT or UGENT laboratory orders. All services are scheduled in advance and therefore we cannot guarantee accommodation of requests for “same day” schedule changes. Expedited collection and/or delivery of any specimen is NOT possible unless scheduled in advance. Because travel is inherently unpredictable, we do not guarantee or warranty any specific delivery time.

11. Scheduling Policy: We recognize that your medical care is very important to you and we respect your desire for timely medical care. Generally, appointment scheduling is conducted on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, scheduling for some patients may be prioritized based on medical need. NPPN will attempt to contact you to schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours upon receipt of your request. We make every attempt to schedule your appointment at a time convenient for you but cannot guarantee any specific time or ongoing duration of availability.

12. We have a 48-hour cancellation policy. Appointments canceled without at least 48 hours’ notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee for all services scheduled on that day. Appointments canceled at the time of service or “no shows” “vi ii be charged the full fee for services scheduled on that day.

13. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN THE SERVICES OF NPPN ARE PROVIDED ON AN

“AS IS, AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. NPPN AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND PARTNERS MAKE NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, GUARANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

14. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER NPPN NOR ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR PARTNERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO NPPN. IN SUCH STATES/JURISDICTIONS, NPPN’S LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND PARTNERS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

15. These terms constitute the entire understanding between you and NPPN and no amendment or modification of its terms shall be valid or binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of NPPN.
